I think the next Wozniak opportunities will require a lot more funding so will be controlled if you like by investors and corporates not two men in a garage. No

I think the next Wozniak opportunities will require a lot more funding so will be controlled if you like by investors and corporates not two men in a garage. Nowadays you’d need a lotto win to afford the SV garage. For example quantum computing needs a lot of money. It’s not soldering chips anymore.
- JohnFen 7y agoI disagree. I think the potential for a couple of people working in a garage to do something with serious impact is as great, or greater, than it has ever been. There are, and always have been, things that are incredibly capital-intensive, of course, but economics change and things that once required multiple millions of dollars are now affordable by normal people. This was true in the past as well -- those couple of guys working in a garage couldn't have done it a decade or two earlier when the costs of such electronics were stratospheric. Things that are costly now, such as quantum computing, will very likely follow the exact same trajectory.
